More than five hundred million allegedly copyright infringing links were requested for removal from Google by copyright house owners in 2016. This variety is that the same because the total variety of removal requests received in 2015.
The copyright holders and Google hold opposing views on the matter, with the rightsholders seeing this increase in takedown requests as proof of a failing system.
Increase in the Past Few Years:
The number of requests has ballooned over the past few years, breaking many records.
TorrentFreak reports that Google has only recently received its five hundred millionth takedown request. Presently the quantity of requests stands at 523,000,000.
If the quantity of takedown requests still increase at this rate, Google can have received one billion of those requests by the tip of 2016, an enormous variety.
Google has same that they take away ninety-eight of the reported links. this suggests that just about [*fr1] a billion square measure so far away from their search results.
Copyright Holders vs Google
The copyright holders say that most of the removed links reappear under a different URL shortly after being removed by Google.
Google released an update on “How Google fights Piracy” report. It highlights the efforts made by the company for fighting piracy and also counters some of the points made by the copyright holders who claim that Google’s efforts are not enough. The report mentions that:
This did not help appease the copyright holders in any way. British Phonographic Industry CEO Geoff Taylor dismissed the report adding that,
No Solution in Sight

Despite the argument between Google and the copyright holders continuing for years without a conclusion, the copyright holders are continuing to report more links to Google for removal.
This is a convoluted mess, copyright holders are also right in arguing that Google’s removal of the pirate links isn’t working, with alternative links popping up soon after removal of the original links. But they are wrong in blaming Google for being at the forefront of piracy in the online world.
The billions who use the internet are in control of the piracy instead of the small elite being blamed for it. The torrenting sites and filesharing sites are where most of the pirated content is distributed and most of the people rely on those instead of searching on Google for that one movie they wanted to download.
Ohh Damn WTF is that.
